What follows below is an on the spot report from the Coordinators of the Swaziland Democracy Campaign and the Swaziland United Democratic Front in Swaziland. What we are witnessing is an unprecedented mobilization of the security cluster of the Swazi regime. Despite the statements of the Foreign Minister on SAFM this morning, and other spokespersons of the regime, the Swazi regime is flaunting all the universally accepted civil rights of its people to organize, gather and peacefully express their desire for a democratic Swaziland. The Minister said this morning that the government are ‘in dialogue’ with civil society and they are hoping to reach an understanding. Clearly as the statement below shows, ‘dialogue’ in Swaziland actually means illegal detention! It is now reliably reported that more than 50 leading activists have been detained including journalists from South Africa.

Jump To Comment: 1SSN statement -12th April 2011
Students at the main campus of the University of Swaziland have unanimously endorsed the April 12 Uprising, vowing to protest until the government concedes to the people’s demands of the end of the absolute monarchy.
The decision to endorse the uprising comes despite the University’s Registrar, Dr. S.S. Vilakati, attempted to intimidate them by circulating a memo which stated that students of the University are not allowed to participate in any demonstrations save for those organised by the University.
This shameful attempt to intimidate them was rejected by the students, who have been part of the organising of the banned protest from the very beginning.
This spirit of defiance by the students must be highly commended. They are the future of the country and ought to take the lead in reshaping it.
During the time of the release of this statement not a single student is in lecture halls and the university is quiet.
